The Gallery provides access to figures, images, and movies created from auroral observations. Our objective is to have a searchable relational data base that will allow users to find visual material of relevance to particular topics in aid of presentations, publications, and public outreach. Each item is provided by a particular researcher or group who has specified the required credit for themselves, and the relevant  funding agencies and observational  programs. At the present time, we are simply presenting a limited set of images and movies via the tables below.

A QuickTime-movie (about 4MB) showing nice auroras captured 17 July 2004 in Athabasca (Alberta, Canada). North is up and east is to the right.

The movie starts with the sunset and you can observe clouds drifting with a blue sky behind. Each individual frame is a 5-s second exposure originally captured at every 20 seconds. Movie courtesy Mikko Syrjäsuo
